Dear Jerry, our external digital level does work like the analog which exists now 20 years. We just made it digital to work with the Transvideo HD monitor. How can we arrange for you to test it? Best regards Christian Betz Please give me a reply under info@betz-tools.com

Ouch! I guess I've been told. What the hell was I thinking? Jim "misguided inventor of the BUZ (BarTech Utility Zoom)" Bartell Hey amercian dream of a remote inventor we are talking digital!

Dear Matt, the motorboard inside the receiver is connected to the front bus board probably it has not 100% contact (fallen out etc.). Unscrew the front and rear panel of the receiver box and shift the complete unit out and check the contacts. If you have any further questions or problems please contact the inventor of the Genio. Good luck Christian Betz phone +49 89 65 113220 mail, betz@betz-tools.com

The preston was the only perfect zoom control ever exist. As they are not manufactured anymore we decide to design a similar one for use with existing digital motors like preston,heden,btm,scorpio. The joystick mount for the gimbal handle will be a little bit more comfortable. The unit should be ready for shipping mid of January. Please send your mail that we can keep you informed.

Dear Armando, for which monitor you will need it? We do have a small external bubble with analog or digital output also for the Transvideo HD series! http://www.betz-tools.com/monitor_electronic-bubble.php regards Christian Betz betz-tools.com

Dear Georgios we pushed kenlab beginning of that year to make a redesign of the inverter. Some operators blew the inverter cause of the the overvoltage of Liion Batteries when they are fully charged. The redesign works very well but if you are useing normal 12 Volt batteries the gyro runs slower. Ask us for an upgrade of your old inverter regards Christian Betz Betz-tools.com

Hey Guys out there, stop waisting time for spreading something! We did a lot of workshops here in Germany with Ted in the 1980 and 1990 and Ted belongs to our old steadicam family here in europe (Jaques Monge, Mike Bartlett, Floris Sijbesma etc.) He gave me his graphics we designd a couple of shirts here after his death his brother Jack gave me the permission to reprint "sometimes" the shirts. Belive to rework the graphics from the old handsfree program till T-shirt printing cost a lot of time. If anybody out there is thinking about to get rich of t-shirts should get back in the famous bank business of america. Let the thoughts on TED Churchill be and don't waist your time in spreading unknown b.s. A very old friend of TED
